Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Marc Fiorentino opened the action with a raise to 9,000 from the hijack, and after it folded to the big blind Robert Natividad, he made the call.
After the flop came A?Q?9? Natividad checked to Fiorentino, who bet out 16,000. Natividad then raised to 55,000, and Fiorentino three-bet to put Natividad all in for his stack of 171,000. Natividad wasted no time and put in the chips to call.
Robert Natividad: K?J? 
Marc Fiorentino: A?9?
It was an action flop with Fiorentino ahead with his two pair, but Natividad had straight draw and flush draw. Once the turn came the 10? , and river 10? Natividad had the best hand with a straight, to take the massive pot.
A few hands later Fiorentino was seen leaving the tournament area after being eliminated.
